Potential employers are curious to know how your previous employer would describe your work and performance while employed with them. Early on in the interview process, they won't be able to reach out for feedback from your provided references. So, it's up to you to offer your own honest feedback. Be candid and honest when answering this question. The interviewer will be able to tell if you are not being genuine in your answer.
"My previous coworkers and managers would describe me as hard working and dependable. They know that I am always willing to put in the extra effort to make sure work gets done on time. It's important that everyone pulls their own weight and recognizes that their work and effort affects everyone else on the team."

My employer would describe me as hardworking and dependable. Actually, in a recent review given by a colleague, she described me as someone who is hardworking, cheerful, and helpful. I always try to be helpful if someone approaches me with a problem that they cannot find a solution for. I am also usually the person arranging a dinner party after a stressful exam week!

It's great that others would describe you as hardworking, dependable, cheerful, and helpful. These are all wonderful attributes! You might also consider adding in the adjectives creative, collaborative, and detail-oriented since these are all other common qualities of successful structural engineers. You've also mentioned in previous answers that you are a good problem solver and a quick learner, which are other qualities the interviewer will want to hear.
